How To Apply
If you or someone you know needs help accessing housing and support from LEAP and meets the criteria above, please complete our Application Form. We welcome self-referrals as well as referral through partner agencies.
LEAP Housing has a range of accommodation and you will be assessed for suitability against this range and according to vacancies. Some of our accommodation is shared housing but we do also have some self-contained accommodation for individuals as well as properties suitable for small families.
What happens next?
We will respond to the referral within 2 days of receipt and where it meets all criteria, an interview will be arranged.
The interview will be planned no later than 2 weeks after the initial referral. At the interview, we will give further information about the process. There is no need to worry about this and you do not need to prepare anything for it. We want you to feel comfortable, but we also need you to be honest. References and background checks will be taken up prior to a decision being made. Where no immediate vacancies exist, your name will be placed on a waiting list.
Our trained staff will ensure a good match and you will be able to view the accommodation prior to move in.
